MARK SCHEME for the October/November 2011 question paper

for the guidance of teachers



5070 CHEMISTRY
5070/42 Paper 4 (Alternative to Practical), maximum raw mark 60


This mark scheme is published as an aid to teachers and candidates, to indicate the requirements of
the examination. It shows the basis on which Examiners were instructed to award marks. It does not
indicate the details of the discussions that took place at an Examiners meeting before marking began,
which would have considered the acceptability of alternative answers.

Mark schemes must be read in conjunction with the question papers and the report on the
examination.



Cambridge will not enter into discussions or correspondence in connection with these mark schemes.



Cambridge is publishing the mark schemes for the October/November 2011 question papers for most
IGCSE, GCE Advanced Level and Advanced Subsidiary Level syllabuses and some Ordinary Level
syllabuses.
